Summer breeze

There's nothing like cooking outdoors – and our easy barbecue recipes are packed with flavours from around the globe

• Spicy prawns This marinade from the Far East also works with chicken, aubergines, courgettes, mushrooms and peppers.
• Stuffed peppers with courgettes and halloumi These tasty peppers, topped with Greek halloumi, are packed full of Mediterranean flavours.
• Jacket potatoes with Eastern minty yogurt Try this easy-to-make topping with an Eastern influence, or you could add an Italian touch to a simple jacket potato.
• Creole slaw with horseradish This is a great variation of the classic barbecue staple, but the addition of the horseradish adds a hot kick.
• Spatchcocked poussin with marinade & roasted garlic Try part-roasting a chicken and then barbecuing it to get that fantastic flavour while ensuring your meat is cooked through properly.
• Barbecued peaches and plums with homemade Italian biscuits Warm summer fruits, drizzled with honey and served with small sweet Italian biscuits, are great served from the barbecue.
